Guest Quarters in 'Old Foothills"- Tucson's Finest Location

Guest Quarters in 'Old Foothills"- Tucson's Finest Location

Enjoy this lovely guest quarters situated on a one-acre property that is adjoined to a main house and has a private entrance. Guests can enjoy their mornings on the private patio or courtyard with mountain views, surrounded by the sweet smell of jasmine when in bloom and the chirping of birds and scurrying of lizards on this beautifully maintained property. You will feel like you are truly in the desert, with regular sightings of Doves, Quail, Bunnies, Javelina and Coyotes. The guest quarters is very clean, well maintained and light filled. No stairs or elevators. Walk through the courtyard to your private unit, enjoy the views and your private patio with grill views. To stay connected, there is WIFI and cable TV (w/HBO) in the living room. High-end Saatva queen size mattress and Sobel Westex sheets. Protective covers and pads for mattress and pillows. Sofabed w/premium mattress in living room for two additional guests. Your well-behaved dog is welcome upon prior approval. Parking is right next to the unit. At dusk the courtyard is lighted and welcoming. While some of my guests come for a week, many enjoy a month-long visit or longer. The location couldn't be more convenient. While feeling secluded, you're minutes from La Encentada Shopping Center, excellent restaurants and watering holes. Great walking neighborhood with hikes just minutes away.
Please note that this is not a freestanding Casita and you will see the smiling faces of myself and my dogs occasionally as we pass through the courtyard when we're in town. Laundry room access is available for longer stays of two weeks or more, otherwise upon request.

About Laura Gargano

Welcome to my special property! Originally from Chicago, IL, I live in Tucson part time and Northern California the rest of the time with my dogs and truly enjoy this property for it's beauty and proximity to the desert sights and sounds. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Laura Gargano purchased this apartment in 2015

Why Laura Gargano chose Tucson

This property is close enough to in downtown activities while feeling like it's a desert haven. It's close to hiking trails, excellent restaurants, watering holes, shopping and within minutes to the top spas in Tucson. It's also 15 minutes straight down the hill to U of A.Some people have stayed while attending events at local resorts or while relocating to Tucson. It's comfortable and welcoming.

What makes this apartment unique

Your dog is welcome. I do ask that guests not leave their dog unattended in the unit for more than four hours at a time to avoid potential doggie accidents. Please inquire about dog sitting or walking if you'd like to enjoy time away for the day and can't bring your pup.

There are two outdoor areas to enjoy - the trellised courtyard and walled patio with cactus garden, market umbrella and gas grill.

For stays of two weeks or longer, laundry room is available upon arrangement.

Please note that I also live part-time on this property in the adjoining house. This property is very well maintained. In order to do this, you will see and hear service people from time to time.

Very nice and quiet.

We spent a week in this nice one bedroom guest house. While the owner was out of town, everything was where she said it would be and there were no problems. The house was well equipped and nicely furnished. Perfect for just the two of us.

Owner's Response: Thanks Darrel. It's been fun having you, having some good laughs and backyard discussions about all sorts of things. I know you're moving here permanently so hopefully there will be more in the future. And thank you for bringing over that jumbo pitcher of Margaritas. I highly recommend:)

Great Get Away

This casita is a gem in a great location. You have a rural feel with all the amenities of the city minutes away. Quiet, private, and very clean! Laura takes good care of her guests with all the amenities that they will need to get started with their stay and information where to go for great Tucson food and sites. The kitchen was adequately stocked with cooking supplies, including a variety of spices. We appreciated the lemon tree on the property which had THE best fresh lemons we ever tasted, and Laura generously shared them with us! If we return to Tucson, this is our number one choice of a place to stay.

Owner's Response: Thank you Don. I'm so glad I got to meet you before you left and missed meeting your wife. Hopefully, there will be a next time. Have a great summer!

Perfect stay!

My wife and I recently moved to Tucson as I started a new position at the U of A. Found Laura's place online and signed up for 3.5 months to give us time to find a place to buy. Very happy with our rental- a real home from home. Great location in the foothills, close enough to town but also right in the middle of amazing nature- we see quails, road runners and even coyotes on a regular basis. Good space and Laura has equipped the kitchen so we can properly cook without running out of plates/pans etc. One huge bonus has been having our dogs as allowed guests.

Highly recommend!

Owner's Response: I cannot believe I missed this response. It was really great having you guys here. So happy my dogs could welcome yours to the desert. It was so fun to get to know you, help guide you on your transition from a country far away to Tucson and sad when you left the guest quarters, though you are only a couple miles away now:) I also consider you part of my Tucson family and continue to enjoy you and your dogs friendship.

Lovely Rental in Tucson

What an amazing place to stay! Tucked in the foothills on the edge of Tucson, this beautiful rental is so peaceful and scenic and a perfect getaway. Our family really enjoyed our vacation time and Laura was a wonderful and helpful host during our stay. I highly recommend this place especially if you're an animal and nature lover looking for a place to relax in the Tucson area! Thanks again for your hospitality and kindness to our little family!

Owner's Response: Oh I very much enjoyed having the three of you and your son was a delight. It was so great to see how much fun you were having in Tucson from sun up to sun down and for you to be able to reconnect with Tucson after so many years. It's a special place and I'm so glad you landed at Casa Perros :)

This property is located in the the 'old foothills', within minutes of Tucson's top spa and golf resorts. Enjoy your visit to all that Tucson has to offer and then retreat to your nearby guest quarters.
